Firewood is available and free of charge for normal use. In the nature garden are mainly native plant species and there is flowery grassland. The grass is deliberately not mowed regularly. There is a vegetable garden and there are fruit trees, from which tenants may harvest their own fruit. There are also two bicycles ready for you at the cottage. A trip to Garderen, Elspeet, Ermelo or Vierhouten reached by bike within half an hour.
Nature and surroundings
The nature house is on Staverden estate and is located in Natura 2000 area. There is high biodiversity, also because nature organizations largely own the area. Because of the self-sustaining ecosystem, there have been no pests such as the oak processionary caterpillar for years. Within 500 meters from the cottage you will find heathlands, varied forests, streams and natural grasslands. It is a nature lover's delight! The cottage has the address Koningsweg 196 and is also called The King's Cabin. Many walking and cycling routes pass by, including the Klompenpad. Castle Staverden is within walking distance; a visit to its well-maintained garden, the Brasserie Staverden and the Brewery De Uddelaer is definitely recommended.

A lovely little cottage that stayed reasonably cool despite the heat. It’s nice that there are several places to sit outside, so you can choose between sun and shade. We enjoyed the currants from the vegetable garden. It’s also nice that there are lots of nature guides on the bookshelf.
Een prima huisje dat ondanks de hitte redelijk koel bleef. Fijn dat er diverse zitplekjes zijn buiten, zodat je kunt kiezen voor zon of schaduw. We hebben genoten van de aalbessen uit de moestuin. Ook fijn dat er veel natuurgidsen in de boekenkast staan.
The cottage feels less like it’s in nature than other cottages we’ve stayed at; it feels more like farmland, and you’re also within sight of other houses. Since the immediate surroundings consist mainly of private property or sensitive nature reserves, we had few options for short walks. We also thought it was a shame that we weren’t allowed to put out birdseed outside.
What was really beautiful, though, were the buzzards and swallows flying over the field, the visit from the herd of deer, and the young hare that regularly stopped by.Het huisje voelt minder in de natuur dan vorige huisjes waar we geweest zijn; het voelt meer als boerenland en je zit ook in het zicht van andere huizen. Omdat de directe omgeving vooral privéterrein of kwetsbaar natuurgebied is, hadden we weinig mogelijkheden voor korte wandelommetjes. Ook vonden we het jammer dat we geen voer buiten mochten hangen voor de vogels.
Wel heel mooi waren de buizerds en zwaluwen boven het veldje, het bezoekje van de roedel herten en het jonge haasje wat regelmatig langskwam.This text is automatically translated. -

Allez was there. The stairs leading up were pretty steep, though.

A beautiful place. You can see large deer roaming around.
Prachtige plek. Grote herten zien lopen.
